The second exam is structured differently than the previous exam. You will select three oceanography topics.
You may pick any topic in the oceanographic field (it does not have to be addressed in the textbook). Topics are first come, first serve. Sign up will begin in the Blackboard class Oct. 14 in the Discussion Section. There will be a discussion labeled OCEANOGRAPHY EXAM WIKI TOPICS. When you pick your topics, I will review the topics and make sure no one else has picked it and it falls in the scope of the oceanography section. I will then email you to let you know if your topics have been approved. Please do not start the project until you receive approval. You will create wiki entries for your topic. You will create your wiki entry in the class wiki.
The class wiki is located at - http://acccearthscience.wikispaces.com- when your topics are approved - I will make three wiki pages, each with the name of your topic. You will then edit the pages and add your research and multimedia (see requirements below). You do not need to create an account for wikispaces at this time. Once your topic is approved and your page added, you may add your content at any time.
I recommend you type up your information in a word processor first so you can spell check and review. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Your entries are due Monday, Nov. 4 by 11:55pm
Requirements
1. Include your name at the very bottom of the wiki page. 2. You must have at least two valid sources (scientific journal articles, textbooks, academic/research institution materials - I recommend using Google Scholar to search for your topic). Please use APA formating for your citation list (which should be at the bottom of your wiki entry and include citations for your summary information and all of your images) - check out http://www.bibme.org/ and http://easybib.com/ for citation information 3. You need to define your topic and include a summary of the topic (at least 500 words) 4. You need to include at least three images, charts or graphs related to your topic. Bonus - include a video related to your topic
